Bitcoin has long been the most secure asset in crypto, but in DeFi, it mostly sat on the sidelines. @BitlayerLabs is changing that, step by step, giving Bitcoin the tools to move, earn, and build in ways never possible before.
1. Bitcoin Meets Ethereum’s Playground
Bitlayer bridges Bitcoin’s rock-solid security with Ethereum’s developer-friendly ecosystem. Using a Proof-of-Stake system and multisig custody, it allows developers to:
Launch dApps quickly
Benefit from ultra-low fees
Move assets seamlessly between Bitcoin and EVM chains
2. The Shift to a Smarter, Safer Bridge
By mid-2025, Bitlayer introduces the BitVM Bridge, a trust-minimized gateway that verifies Bitcoin transactions directly on-chain.
This means:
No middlemen
No centralized custody
Pure, verifiable security
3. Scaling for the Future
Bitlayer isn’t just about security — it’s about speed and scale:
20,000 transactions per second
3-second confirmations
Infrastructure ready for global adoption
At this level, Bitcoin transforms from a store of value into a fully programmable, high-performance layer for DeFi.
YBTC — Your Bitcoin, Working Harder
Lock BTC in the BitVM Bridge and get YBTC, a fully backed, trust-minimized asset for:
Lending
Staking
Liquidity pools
Swaps
Bitcoin now earns and grows without leaving the safety of its own network.
Why Bitlayer Stands Out
Developer-Friendly: Ethereum developers can start building immediately
Best of Both Worlds: Bitcoin’s security meets DeFi flexibility
Built to Grow: Ready for today’s needs and tomorrow’s scale
Bitlayer isn’t just another bridge — it’s a long-term plan to bring Bitcoin into the fast-moving world of DeFi, without compromising what makes it great.
